Consider an electric dipole in a uniform electric field. In which orientation does the dipole-field system have the greatest pot

ential energy? when the dipole moment and the electric field are parallel when the dipole moment and the electric field are antiparallel when the dipole moment makes the 60∘ angle with the electric field when the dipole moment and the electric field are perpendicular

Answer: when the dipole moment and electric field are parallel

Explanation: The formulae that relates the potential energy of a dipole, dipole moment and strength of electric field is given as

u = p * E cosθ

Where, u= dipole potential energy, p = dipole moment, E = strength of electric field.

The expression is at maximum when θ = 0 (cos 0° = 1)

Hence the function for potential energy will be greatest when θ = 0° which implies that the dipole moment and strength of electric field are parallel to each other.

Boyle's law balloon was filled to a volume of 2.50 l when the temperature was 30.0∘
aliina [53]

To solve this we assume that the gas inside the balloon is an ideal gas. Then, we can use the ideal gas equation which is expressed as PV = nRT. At a constant pressure and number of moles of the gas the ratio T/V is equal to some constant. At another set of condition of temperature, the constant is still the same. Calculations are as follows:

T1 / V1 = T2 / V2

V2 = T2 x V1 / T1

V2 =284.15 x 2.50 / 303.15

<span>V2 = 2.34 L</span>

Design an experimental set up to show that white light is made up of different colours of light​
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

Issac Newton was the first to use a glass prism to obtain the spectrum of sunlight. He tried to split the colours of the spectrum of white light further by using another similar prism. However, he could not get any more colours. He then placed a second identical prism in an inverted position with respect to the first as shown.

This allowed all the colours of the spectrum to pass through the second prism. He found a beam of white light emerging from the other side of the second prism. This observation gave Newton the idea that the sunlight is made-up of seven colours.
